Overview

Mission

To promote the health, social, educational, vocational and character development of youth between the ages of 6 and 18 years.

What it reported doing in 2024

Operating an athletic program for people, between the ages of 6-18 years, after school and on non-school days, including salaries of personnel who are hired to operate the program.

Operating model

Revenue model
Mixed. Its operating money came from several sources; no one source provided a clear majority.
Distribution model
Direct operator. The filing allocates 100% of reported program-service expenses outside its grant, affiliate-payment, and member-benefit lines. This expense classification does not rule out separately announced grant awards.

The verdict

STRONG - A large share of available resources goes toward mission work and the filed numbers largely add up. Expenses are high relative to revenue and reported officer compensation is a large share of total spending, which may reflect staffing concentration.
